ORE Question Bank — SBA & EMQ Practice
ORE question bank — active recall through SBA and EMQ practice is the highest-yield Part 1 strategy. Our question bank mirrors exam-style formats so you build speed, accuracy and topic awareness — not just theoretical knowledge.
A 45-year-old patient presents with acute pulpitis. Which is the most appropriate initial management?
Using the ORE question bank effectively
Our ore question bank guide explains what overseas dentists need: research on exam preparation consistently shows that testing yourself strengthens long-term retention more than re-reading the same notes. For ORE Part 1, that means daily question sets after each revision chapter.
Practise under timed conditions where you can. Review anything you get wrong, then return to the matching revision book section. The book + bank bundle supports this read-test-review loop at £250.
This ORE question bank guide explains what overseas dentists need for UK registration through the ORE route. Use our ORE question bank resources alongside official GDC guidance and Enamel Academy shop products for structured preparation. See also: ORE revision book, ORE Part 1 course.
Read a revision book chapter, then practise matching questions from the bank.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the ORE exam for?
The ORE is for overseas dental graduates whose primary qualification is not recognised for direct GDC registration and who must demonstrate competence to practise dentistry in the UK.
How long should I prepare for ORE Part 1?
Most candidates need three to six months combining syllabus review, daily SBA/EMQ practice and at least one full mock exam cycle before sitting Part 1.
Does the question bank cover both SBA and EMQ formats?
Yes — practice is structured around the question types used in ORE and LDS Part 1 written papers.
Can I use the same bank for LDS Part 1?
Yes. The ORE/LDS Part 1 Question Bank is designed for both examinations where syllabus overlap applies.
Should I use the bank before or after reading the revision book?
Best results come from reading a syllabus section first, then testing immediately. Use free questions to baseline before buying the full bank.
